We should be pushing for all states to do what Nebraska and Maine do. I’m pretty sure the only democrats we would have had in the past 43 years would have been both Clinton terms and Obama in 2008, Romney would have won in 2012.
All states should do winner-take-all. It’s clear that way.
in a super crazy close election this one change could be the difference
Sorry folks, but electoral votes by congressional district would have wiped out obama and biden. 2) its actually more constitutional in spirit than winner take all. It eliminates big city control over every state, effectively eliminates vote fraud for a generation. And when the republicans controlled the rust belt, TWICE, in the past 30 years it could have been done. But we dont have a republican party. We have a retardican party.
I propose the following as a constitutional amendment.
Each congressional district shall award it’s electoral vote to the candidate that has a majority of 51% of the votes cast. If there is no qualifying candidate, a run-off election shall be held 45 days after the election with only the top two candidates by votes cast being accepted as candidates for the run-off election. If the run-off election does not result in one candidate obtaining 51%, The Legislature shall meet in unicameral session and decide which of the candidates shall be awarded the electorial vote.
One of the State electoral votes shall be awarded to the candidate that receives the most congressional districts, The second state electoral vote shall be awarded to the candidate that receives the most votes in the election.
